4:50 am
flow and that's helping push that fog coverage away. here's that low that brought us crazy winds monday, tuesday. now it's moved further east hovering over montana, colorado, also may see some storm action from this the rockies getting snow, as well. for us by this moving out of the way, it's making room for our high pressure that's going to bring us more sunshine so temperatures will be rising this weekend. so by saturday, sunday, we are going to see quite the bump. today's going to be warmer than yesterday. tomorrow will be warmer than today. it will continue that upward trend which you will see in that seven-day forecast. as far as temperatures for today go, 83 degrees the high in concord. 84 in fairfield. napa 81 degrees. look at that seven-day forecast. here you go for the weekend. temperatures mid-90s in time for fleet week. sunshine in store 80s around the bay and mid-70s at the beaches. jaclyn? >> neda, thank you. and we continue to monitor this situation along southbound 101. a traffic alert is in effect
4:51 am
all lanes on southbound 101 belonged just before woodside road. all traffic is diverted at whipple and detouring through the streets. you are allowed to get back onto southbound 101 using the woodside road on-ramp. so that on-ramp is open but it's closed just before that off-ramp there at woodside. right now, we are starting to see a backup. our sensors showing black detailing this but there is a closure there along 101 but no significant delays just yet. it's still very early. we will take it to concord where we were track an earlier accident along 242. it's not blocking any lanes but we are seeing a backup eastbound highway 4 approaching 242 as well as the usual slowdowns out of antioch westbound 4 but it looks like that 680 roadwork was picked up because it's all back in the green. so that's the good news. over at the bay bridge toll plaza, reports of a two-car crash. it appears that they have cleared that over to the shoulder there. so we're not seeing a backup

local people's issue. >> reporter: the tiff over time reached the boiling point last week with the 49ers president declaring a moratorium on weekday concerts saying silencing the music at 10:00 to avoid a city fine is not possible. >> my view on it is the local people deserve to be protected and so the band should come on stage earlier. what's stopping them? >> reporter: last week city leaders denied coldplay's request to play an hour past curfew. and the restriction also caused singer ed sheeran to cancel his concert at levi's. >> i think it's dumb they built a stadium in an area where people will complain so much. >> reporter: but the curfew wasn't the only issue on the minds of concert-goers. one woman was upset about tightened security. while there was no specific threat to the stadium, security was increased in the wake of the las vegas shooting. >> can happen to anybody anywhere. so you have to live your life. don't worry about that. >> reporter: maria medina, kpix 5. a bay area "meals on
